The humble semicolon


I am told a semicolon 
 Indicates a generosity of spirit; 
A willingness to share, explain, or clarify 
Whatever statement might have preceded it — 
An extra hand, to help us 
On our way to understanding; 
A sort of waypoint, 
To help guide us on our journey — 
Much like the subtle indicators 
Nature offers to those who walk along a beach… 
(Ellipses, I am told, 
Are evidence and invitation 
To the common bond that links us together.)
